INTRODUCTION 

Advantages 

The advantages of Pasteless Paper Construction 
are many. It is not a theory but has been tried out in 
the schoolroom. It is usable. Its requirements are so 
simple it can be used successfully in the small rural 
schools as well as in the schools of the large cities. 
It fills the practical needs which correlate with other 
school work and home problems. It is permanent. 
Mice gnaw and destroy pasted work. It is stronger 
than pasted construction and, therefore, not so easily 
pushed out of shape. It is possible. No child is too 
small to use this method. When taught the unit, any 
child can work out the entire construction without the 
teacher's assistance. It is provident. It uses the mate- 
rial at hand and uses all of it. It is popular because it 
is practical, permanent, possible, provident and useful. 

Uses 

The uses to which this may be applied are varied. 
In making furnishings we can apply the work to plan- 
ning doll houses (as chairs, tables, beds, etc.), to simple 
interior decoration, to illustration of stori'es, to studying 
dramatization and to fitting up miniature theaters. 

In making containers for regular school work, we 
have the indexed spelling book and the folio for spell- 
ing, arithmetic, language and other class papers. 

For the holiday season there are the sachet, picture 
mounts, calendars, blotters, etc., to be made. 



PASTELESS PAPER CONSTRUCTION 



Equipment 

No special equipment is needed. It consists of the 
regular materials found in every school — the pencil, 
ruler, scissors, paper and possibly water colors or cray- 
ons. The paper used may be tonal construction paper, 
heavy wrapping paper, or if working out a color 
scheme in interior decoration, paper tinted with water 
color. 

Method 

In presenting this work, show the finished prob- 
lem, if possible! Teach the folding of the unit giving 
specific directions. After the pupil has been taught 
several applications, encourage him to use his own in- 
itiative. 

Aim 

The aim in all this work is to secure accuracy in 
measuring, either by ruler or eye, and exactness in han- 
dling; to develop initiative and invention; to promote 
pleasure in the work and its correlations; to increase 
the appreciation of the beauty of simplicity.

Cut two pieces of paper No. 1, 4" x 7" and No. 2,

careful to keep the projecting ends even. Keep the 
paper flat on the desk when folding the unit and make 
the fold turn close to the edge of the other paper. Fold 
down the upper part of No. 2. See A, Illus. 2. Crease 
well. Turn the paper in the position shown in Illus. 3 
and see that No. 1 is pushed down well in the fold.

place them on the desk in the position shown in Illus. .5. 
The ends of the folded oblongs may be trimmed as 
shown in Illus. .5. Lay down the lower folded edge of 
No. 1. (Illus. 6.) Close the side doors. (Illus. 7.) 
Lay No. 1 down over No. 2. (Illus. 8.) Now; taking 
these papers in the left hand, tuck the remaining end 
inside the unit similar to the opposite end. (Illus. 9.) 

Note — Be careful in folding all units that the 
paper folded is close to the edge of the other piece.

of borders — viz. : In vertical oblongs the sides are the 
narrowest, the top is next in width, and the bottom is

Fold the four pieces of A and B into two units, 
using one A and one B for each unit. Fold the two pieces 
of C, the short edges together, creasing well. Lay one 
inside the other. This makes a double threader to re- 
inforce the back of the book. Thread the two units 
on the double threader. Fold each of the five pieces of 
D, placing the short edges together. Lay one within 
the other and sew all together for the leaves of the book, 
tying the thread on the outside in a hard knot. Now 
slip the front and back leaves into the front and back 
units of the book. Mount a picture of a bird on the 
outside cover. Leave the first leaf for the name of the 
book and the name of the pupil. Begin mounting the 
pictures on the second leaf.

Thread the two units on the double threader. 




Plate 8. 



Fold each piece of quarter cap, placing the short 
edges together. Lay one inside the other. Knock 
leaves together so they are even. Open the leaves to the 
middle. Holding firmly so they will not slip, insert 
the point of the needle at the fold on the second line 
from the top through the ten sheets. (No. 1, lUus. 1.) 
Again insert the needle at the fold on the fourth line 
from No. 1. Insert it the third time at the fold on the 
fourth line from No. 2. Now, with the needle threaded, 



16 PASTELESS PAPER CONSTRUCTION 

put the needle up through No. 2, down through No. 1, 
carrying it across the back, bring it up through No. 3 
and down through No. 2, being careful that the two 
ends of the thread are on opposite sides of the long 
thread. Tie in a hard knot. 

The two outside leaves are to be slipped into the 
units to complete the binding. The second leaf is for 
the subject and the name, grade and school of the pupil. 
On the third leaf begin the indexing. On the first blue 
line place a dot J/4'' from the edge of the leaf. On the 
last blue line place a dot J^'' from the edge of the leaf. 
Place the edge of the ruler to the two dots and draw a 
light pencil line connecting them. Cut on this line and 
out to the edge of the paper on the blue line. (Illus. 2.) 
With ink place the letter '^A." On the fourth leaf draw 
a light pencil line from the second blue line along the 
cut edge of leaf three. Cut on the pencil line and the 
second blue line to the edge of the leaf. Place the let- 
ter '^B" on the fourth leaf. '^C", "D", '^E", 'T" and 
''G" are indexed in a similar way, cutting one line 
lower each time. The words for "H", "I", "J" and 
"K" will occupy one leaf, so drop four lines from this 
in ruling and cutting. "L" and "M" require one leaf, 
and as this uses all lines but one, nothing is cut away 
from this leaf. We begin at the top again, but cut on 
the second line instead of the first as ''N" and "O" re- 
quire one leaf. 'T" requires one leaf, and ''Q" and 
^'R" one leaf. ''S" requires two leaves, so cut two leaves 
at the same time and letter each "S". 'T" and ''U" take 
one leaf, ''V" one leaf, 'W, ^'X", 'T" and ^'Z" one 
leaf. The grouping of letters may be changed to suit 
the word list of different grades. This grouping of let- 
ters in this illustration is arranged for "IV A".

Slip the ends of the threaders into the ends of the side 
units, being careful to keep the light paper inside. Slip 
the two threaders K and L through the bottom unit, 
at right angles to each other, being careful to fold down 
all four ends of the threaders on the light side of the 
unit. Crease well. Slip these ends into the sides and 
ends of the box. The light paper forms the lining of 
the box. Using G and H, fold the top unit. Put a

Thread on another unit and fold the extending threader 
down. In like manner thread on the third and fourth 
units. Slip the extending 2" of the threader into 
the first unit. Slip the four V extensions of the base 
into the four side units. If a small triangle is cut 
from each side of the base extensions, they will slip into 
the sides more easily. 

Slip the end of the strip VV' x 12'' into the side of 
one of the side units three-quarters of an inch. Fold the 
strip around the four sides, pulling tightly and creas- 
ing well at the corners. This divides the strip into four 
equal parts with a small extension at each end. Place a 
design on the four parts. Insert the three-quarter inch 
extension of the band into the side of one unit and 1" 
from the top of the vase. Wrap the band around the 
vase and insert the last end into the unit to lap the first 
end. A little paste will hold the band more securely if 
desired, but it is not necessary.

Objects Based on the Sixteen- 
Square Fold 

These objects are simpler in construction than the 
preceding ones and can be used more advantageously 
with the smaller children. They are based on the fold- 
ing of a square paper into sixteen squares which is done 
as follows : 

Place the square on the desk horizontal with the 
body. Bring the top edge down even wath the bottom 
edge and crease. Open and bring the top edge down to 
the fold and crease. Turn the paper half-way around. 
Open and bring the top edge down to the first fold and 
crease. Open and turn the paper a quarter of the way 
around and repeat the above directions, putting in the 
crosswise folds. This divides the paper into sixteen 
squares.
